A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO WAIVE THE FEE FOR SPECIAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS FOR HOMELESS PERSONS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-37.7(d) reads as rewritten:
"(d)	A special identification card issued under this section shall expire on the birth date of the holder in the fourth year of issuance. The fee for the issuance or reissuance of a special identification card is the same as the fee set in G.S. 20-14 for issuing a duplicate license.  The fee does not apply to a special identification card issued to a resident of this State who is legally blind, is at least 70 years of age, or is homeless.  To obtain a special identification card without paying a fee, a homeless person must present a letter to the Division from the director of a facility that provides care or shelter to homeless persons verifying that the person is homeless.
  ."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
